You can pick up the boost control throttle body from a wrecker for about $150-200 with a 3 month warranty. It takes about 30mins to swap it over if you're competant with a tool in your hand.

So I got the call today, low compression in cylinder 3 and 4. They are pulling it down tomorrow and will submit the goodwill
repair claim to Volkswagen. I'm kinda sweating on this but I'm confident...
VW collected my car on Friday and they will assess it on Monday and let me know what they plan on doing. I really hope the do the right thing and repair it free. It had an engine replaced @40k due to...
Hi,
How did you go about getting a free replacement on this? I am in the process of trying to get a resolution with them now.

Hi Buddy,
Any chance you could pass me on the details of their email addresses via PM? I am in the same situation. I brought my 09 118tsi with 93,000km on it and it had a new engine put in at...
Thanks, cylinder 4 is dead so I need to see if we can replace the piston/s whilst it's still in the car.
Hi,
Do you know if the oil pan can be removed whilst the engine is still in the car?
Thanks

Hi everyone,
I am in urgent need of 09 MK6 VW 1.4 TSI 118 coil pack in the Gold Coast or Brisbane area. I started having the occasional warning light pop up a few weeks ago so I ordered some coil...
Nope, was quite easy. Pulled off front drivers side wheel and inner guard to gain side access, made it heaps easier. It's a pita job though to be honest, lots of fiddly crap.
Job done, 4hrs or so it took me as I was going slow to make sure I did it right. Reset Ecu fault codes with my uncles obd scanner and boom everything is working perfect now. Thank you so much for...
I can cut the plastic handle off. The one I'm getting is similar. The plastic is just a coating over the metal underneath so i'll remove it if it's an issue.

Found something! I can get one of these today. Would it do the job? It's a pushbike spanner ...
Really struggling to find a thin 16mm spanner, can the job be done without it?
Awesome, thanks for the info! It will definitely come in handy on Friday when I'm getting frustrated trying to work out how to get it apart :O
I thought it was just as simple as removing and replacing the water pump unit as seen in the following link .......
Where can I get myself a set of these tools? Are they available from anywhere?
I'm going to do this myself on Friday on the ground with the car on ramps. Do I go from underneath the car to remove...
I'm going to go over it on Friday and check all the earth's. Wouldn't the fact the supercharger engaging at 900rpm in neutral suggest that its more than a wiring issue? It had thrown another fault...
What specific tools are required?
Did they show similar symptoms and fault codes?
Based on what I what I'm experiencing would you recommend I take steps to replace the SC clutch/water pump and fixing the issue?
I have been quoted around $400 for the part
How long did it take to replace the SC Clutch/waterpump? Any idea on what the parts cost?
The clicking sounds like a solenoid and it was pulsing every second or so.
Fuse is out, it was only in for 1 min testing purposes to see if supercharger engaged.
Hi Everyone,
I have a 2009 VW TSI 118 Comfortline and it's blown the 10a fuse under the bonnet that appears to run the supercharger.
Engine fault light it on (orange) and it won't rev past 3k...
Hi all,
First post is here as requested. I have a broken VW that I need help working out what's wrong with it so i'll be in the technical section asking some questions and posting up the issues to...
